It is submitted by the learned counsel for the state that next date fixed in the trial is 19.9.2015 when Chandrawati Devi will be produced for her examination.

Considering the present stage of the trial, this court is not inclined to revise the earlier order. The prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail is rejected in connection with Darigaon P.S. Case No. 241 of 2012 (S.T. No. 318 of 2012) pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge V, Rohtas at Sasaram. It is expected from the learned trial court to examine Chandrawati Devi on the next date fixed and conclude the trial expeditiously.

The personal appearance of the Superintendent of Police, Rohtas is dispensed with.
